Rich pale malt flavors provide a solid base for zesty Styrian Golding and Czech Saaz hopping. Trappist ale yeast contributes the fruity, spicy profile of classic, monk-brewed, Belgian ales. Our Trippel is luscious, fiery, golden brew and a contemporary rendition of traditional Belgian Trippel.

Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy orange golden color with a mdium frothy off white head that lasts awhile. The aroma is a sweet floral hops with citrus and honey caramel. Very good sticky lacing on the glass. The taste is a bitter floral hop with a spicy dry finish. A good trippel from Green Flash.

22 ounce bottle, 2007, courtesy of ucusty. Thanks! Pours a hazy butterscotch color with a large head, medium head retention and lacing. Sweet aroma of candi sugar and fruity notes. Taste is sweet, with candi sugar, cotton candy, caramel and stone fruits leading into a bitter hop finish. Full bodied. Nice.

On tap at Stone. Pours with a light, white head covering a golden body. Rich, spicey and yeasty aroma (clove and coriander are at the forefront). Taste is sweet and a bit fruity. Dry mouthfeel, and to style, lively carbonation.

Pours dark gold into a tulip. Offwhite head quickly recedes leaving no lacing. Orange citrus and alcohol aromas. Sharp citrus from front to back with a lasting sour burn. Some bubblegum in the finish.

Apricot nose. Shimmering amber, medium white head, good lace, and streams of carbonation. Weak flavor of apricot and lemon. Cheap malt remains on the palate. This is the tamest tripel I’ve ever had. Clean and drinkable, but lackluster.

Fully hazy orange-ochre beer with a good off-white, dense head. Bit spiced, dough, coriander, little amount of yeast off-products, sourish. Coriander, high temperature flavours, little citrussy flavour. Bit lactic, but still refreshing. Creamy texture and spritzy MF. Not a bad beer, but always those high temperature offshoot yeast products...

Sample at Stone. This brew is a clear orange color with a thin off-white head that dissipates steadily. Spotty lacing. Aroma of yeast and bananas plus a bit of citrus. Full-bodied with flavors of yeast, banana and spices plus some yeast and hay. The finish is spicy with citrus and spice flavors and a yeast aftertaste. Pretty solid all around.

Nice strong golden coloured body with a very thin slightly-off white head. Aroma of fresh yeast, malt, coriander seed and a tiny bit of honey. Full-bodied; Very strong yeastie flavour with malt and a good dose of sugars behind. Aftertaste shows plenty of malt, yeast and curacao - a bit of honey and some light nuts also show through. Overall, a decent but slightly strong and overwhelming trip. Good to try, but I’d recommend another trip over this one. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in San Franisco (4th Ave), California on 9-February-2008.

Bottle courtesy of SS: Poured a deep golden/orangey color ale with a huge foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of spicy yeast, light peaches and some sweet malt. Taste is also dominated by some spicy notes with some refreshing peachy taste and some quite big and sweet malt notes. Great carbonation with a medium to full body and some light alcoholic notes. Very well done overall and something I wouldn’t mind trying again.

I’ve had this one sitting around for a while - I figured I’d try it given its recent GABF medal - clear gold with small, suspended flecks - frothy, lasting head - aroma of honey, vanilla, floral notes, some medicinal alcohol and sweetness - a bit thin, and the slightest bit artificial-tasting - weak spiciness, light belgian yeast fruitiness, strong, out of place hoppiness - sticky sweetness in the background couples strangely with the alcohol presence to remind one of the somewhat medicinal quality of the aroma - silver medal my ass.
